The best restaurants serving British food in Hurstpierpoint and Downs Mid Sussex South East

It has been a while since I visited the Fig Tree last. We went with friends celebrating a birthday. I can honestly say it was probably the best meal that I have ever eaten. The Lobster starter was perfect and the venison divine. Coupled with superb service I cannot understand how this restaurant doesn't have a Michelin Star. I won't wait so long before returning.

First time visit for lunch. Excellent atmosphere and good food which makes it even better. Will lost definitely be going back.

Have used this cafe for many years, but I'm afraid it's gone down hill now. Food wasn't bad but not good. Staff were good. Toilets a bloody mess, very dirty .Scrap yard next door with rats running about. We will not stop here any more.

The food was very good, but could have done with a bit more meat.

Great place to eat with friends. Sue always has a warm welcome for us and Stu’s food is delicious. Two of us are vegetarians and two aren’t, there’s always a good selection for us all. I would like them to stock zero alcohol Guinness!

I always tend to trust a restaurant or cafe when you can see into the food preparation area and watch your meal being prepared. Add good quality ingredients, friendly service and a small but varied menu and you’ve got a great little lunch spot.

Popped into the farm shop for impromptu breakfast, and was not disappointed, The staff couldn’t be more helpful and friendly, the food was amazing. We will be back soon.

Outstanding Service and Incredible Staff! I recently visited The Plough in Pyecombe and was genuinely blown away by the service. The staff were absolutely fantastic—fast, friendly, and incredibly welcoming from the moment we walked in. Nothing was too much trouble; they really went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and looked after. I’ve already told all my friends they have to visit. It’s rare to come across a team this dedicated and genuinely lovely. The Plough has some of the best hospitality I’ve experienced—full credit to the amazing staff!

What a lovely course shame I kept shanking my shots

Frustrated. Service is excellent and welcoming. Lovely pub but somewhat annoyed that a large glass of Argentinian Malbec is £14 a 250ml glass and pint of Milk Stout is nearly £7. At these prices they are at London prices and this pub/restaurant is in Fulking, Sussex! We had two very nice tasting burger. One was a Korean chicken burger with french fries and the other a cheese beef burger with thick chips. However I would probably not repay the visit because it’s just too expensive for what is basically burger and chips and a couple of drinks at £80!! I would have to add that the staff serving both the drinks and food were excellent and it’s a lovely traditional pub.

Amazing roast, big portions !! Would definitely visit again !!

Staff and the atmosphere are amazing 👏 had such a fun night, thanks 😊
